Long shot, anyone used WA state as home base?
We want to go full time next year and are current residents of Washington state. Washington state doesn't come up on the usual suspects of RV'r domicile choices for some reason (South Dakota, Florid...

The only mail forwarding service I have found is called Wanderers. By any chance have one of you used this?
Yes, just started last month. Not long enough to give any opinion but I'll try. Located at Pike place market...IE wade through a mess of people, parking a mess etc. You are already residence's of King County and WA state and all the things that come with it. Good and bad. We needed/wanted to keep our address in western WA for medical insurance reasons or we'd be back to SD for everything. And search on here about some states that full timers have a difficult time with medical.
We did get the letter from Post Office saying Wagners is responsible for forwarding when we leave them. (Which is interesting that the PO would care or track anybody.) This comes into effect when you leave your forwarder (not just Wagners). Which means if you want mail forward after you leave your forwarder, you'll either have to sign up for time or build that into your plan. I would ask before you sign up.
2.2.7 Mail Addressed to CMRA Customershttp://pe.usps.gov/archive/html/DMMArchive0106/507.htm#wp1113059
Mail addressed to an addressee at a commercial mail receiving agency (CMRA) is not forwarded through the USPS. The CMRA customer may make special arrangements for the CMRA operator to remail the mail with payment of new postage. A CMRA must accept and remail mail to former customers for at least 6 months after termination of the agency relationship. After the 6-month period, the CMRA may refuse mail addressed to a former customer
The place is just a tiny hole in the wall but interesting every time we go there. Met a person coming in after sailing around the world for 3 years. And some girls trying to mail some "American tobacco" to their parents in Asia somewhere. (I never knew US mail will not ship tabacco). If you read Wagners history it is interesting that they started for the Alaska gold rush.
I also thought I could get "general delivery" at my local PO. Not true in our area! Only at one location close that is to us. Part of that reason I understand is homeless people wanting general delivery everywhere and PO put there foot down and will only do one location. what they call "downtown" http://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/FSupp2/190/1221/2504079/
OK hope any of this helps
